Homemade Graham Cracker Tutorial

One of my children's favorite after-nap snacks is Graham Crackers. I used to buy boxes of them every month until found this recipe for homemade Graham Crackers from Martha Stewart. Once you try a homemade Graham Cracker, you'll cringe at the store-bought ones.

In your mixer, beat the butter, brown sugar, and honey, on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Scrape down the sides as needed. About 4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mix until combined.

Step 4

Turn the dough out on a floured surface. Shape into a ball. And cut into quarters.

Step 5

Put a quarter of the dough in between two pieces of parchment paper. Roll out to 1/8 inch thin. Cut into desired shapes (I used a pizza cutter to make small rectangles-free handed but you can use cookie cutters-don't separate the cookies at this point). Transfer the dough sheet and parchment paper to a baking sheet and freeze for 15-20 minutes. Do this with each quarter of dough, stacking the layers in the freezer.

Step 6

Once the dough is frozen, break off the crackers and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Pierce the crackers with a fork. Bake for 4 minutes, then rotate the pan, and bake for another 5 minutes. Continue with each sheet of frozen dough. Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a baking rack to cool.

Step 7

Store in an air-tight container in the pantry. They will last for several weeks- but they'll be gone long before then.
